— Ezekiel 15:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?”
“Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest? ”
“Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest?”
““Son of man, of all the woody branches among the trees of the forest, what happens to the wood of the vine?”
“Son of man, what shall be made of the wood of the vine, out of all the trees of the woods that are among the trees of the forests?”
“Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any branching tree which is among the trees of the woods?”
“Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?”
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
“Son of man, what can be made from the stalk of a vine, compared to all the plants of the woods that are among the trees of the forests?
Can any wood be taken from it, so that it may be made into a work, or formed into a peg so as to hang some kind of vessel upon it?
Behold, it is used in the fire as fuel. The fire consumes both its ends; and its middle is reduced to ashes. So how can it be useful for any work?
Even when it was whole, it was unsuitable for a work. How much more so, when fire has devoured it and burned it up, will nothing of it be useful?
